Passover Chocolate Roulade - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1/3 cup matzo cake meal
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
5 eggs, separated
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup heavy cream
10 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
Preparation
-
Preheat oven to 350. Oil a jellyroll pan, and line with wax paper. Sift matzoh cake meal and cocoa together. Set aside. In large bowl, beat egg yolks with 1/3 cup sugar until thick and light. Add oil, and beat 30 seconds longer. In separate large bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and whisk until stiff. Add about 1/3 stiffly beaten egg whites and all of the cake meal mixture to the egg yolk mixture. Fold in gently and quickly.
Fold in remaining whites in two additions. Do not over fold. White streaks should still be seen. Spread into preheated pan, and bake in preheated oven until edges slightly shrink from sides of pan, about 20 minutes. Cool in pan.
To prepare ganache, bring cream to scalding (until little bubbles form on side of pan). Pour chocolate over, and stir gently over low heat until chocolate melts. If small lumps remain, strain through cheesecloth. cool to room temperature.
To assemble, turn cake out of pan, and begin to peel wax paper at longest side. Use half the filling to spread over exposed cake as paper is removed and cake is rolled. With a pastry bag and small star nozzle, cover outside of roll with tiny rosettes, or scatter fresh raspberries over. Refrigerate.
